Shame

The Weight of Guilt

I haven’t posted in a while. Whenever I thought about writing, a familiar feeling crept in - the heavy, suffocating weight of shame. It wasn’t just guilt for skipping a post; it was the insidious thought that I was doing it all over again: letting another thing slip, abandoning something I love, proving to myself that I can’t follow through. The longer I stayed away, the worse it got. It wasn’t just about writing anymore - it was about all the unfinished projects, the unanswered messages, and the hobbies I once loved but left behind. And as the shame grew, it became nearly impossible to start again.
